I have been thinking a lot lately about trying my hand at making a pot holder.
This booklet has a number of different patterns that I have been playing with the idea of making. The booklet contains patterns for a number of different styled pot holders, plus a variety of embroidery options. The instructions are a little tricky to decipher in some of the patterns though. The (apparent) complexity of some of the patterns has put me off a little, as I just worry that my crochet skills are not good enough (I am a total beginner).
This is where EmmaLamb comes in...
Aren't they the most beautiful things you've ever seen?!? The detail is brilliant and the colour combinations are perfect. I wish I had skills like this. I also love how they can be used as a decorative feature on a wall.
My favourite would definitely be Bessie...
A lovely discovery...

Bessie's beautiful, although I don't think I could bring myself to put a pot near any of them!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I would love to have a pot holder feature wall in my kitchen someday.
ReplyDeleteI remember that "Swedish" embroidery from primary school - except it definitely wasn't called Swedish!! The thing about the crocheted projects - they are small enough for you to have a go and if it goes wrong - just undo and have another go - it's not like it's a large garment, though I think the yarn and hook size would be crucial for the right tension. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super lovely book, Sam. Good luck with the crochet and making the pot holders, 'cause the wall display looks fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to learn to crochet one of these days. In the meantime, you could make quilted pot holders...
